Malaysia: “In This Country, An Accusation of Sodomy Is Defamation of Character”

Background

On June 28, 2008, Saiful Bukhari Azian, a 23-year old former assistant of Malaysia’s opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, told police that Mr. Anwar had committed sodomy. Mr. Anwar has denied the allegation and is suing the aide for defamation.

Section 377A of the Malaysian Penal Code criminalizes “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” which is defined as “any person who has sexual connection with another person by the introduction of the penis into the anus or mouth of the other person.” In 377B, punishment for the described sexual activity, even if consensual, is maximum 20 years in prison and whipping. Section 377C deals with non-consensual sexual activity described in 377A that may or may not lead to injury or death of the victim. Punishment is a five to 20-year prison term and possibly also whipping. In addition, several states in Malaysia implement syariah laws against the Muslim population¹ with penalties for sodomy (liwat) and lesbianism (musahaqat) amounting to fines of five thousand ringgit (1532 US dollars), three years imprisonment and/or six lashes of the whip.” ²

Framed For Sodomy Before

Mr. Anwar faced a sodomy claim before. In 1998, when he was serving as Deputy Prime Minister, another aide and the family driver each accused him of having sex with them. The aide claimed it was consensual; the driver claimed coercion. In addition, Mr. Anwar was charged with corruption because the government claimed he used his power to cover up the sodomy. Both accusers eventually recanted. However, Mr. Anwar was dismissed from his position, convicted and sentenced to prison—nine years for sodomy and six years for abuse of power. In prison, he sustained injuries from beatings by the police chief. Six years into his sentence, the sodomy charges were overturned, and Mr. Anwar was released in 2004. The corruption conviction remained, resulting in a five-year ban from standing for public office.

Mr. Anwar has argued that the charges he faced in 1998 were part of a political conspiracy by followers of then Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad with whom he had a political falling out, and who wanted Mr. Anwar out of his Cabinet. Prior to their falling out, Mr. Anwar was Dr. Mahathir’s right hand man and groomed to become his successor.

Repeat of 1998?

Since his release from prison, Mr. Anwar has been at the forefront of uniting opposition parties to defy the power of his former party, United Malays National Organization (UMNO), which dominated the government for 50 years. He and his wife, Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail³, an opposition leader in parliament, view the new sodomy charge as yet another frame-up attempt by followers of anti-Anwar people, bent on derailing his political ambition. To prove their point, Dr. Azizah showed the international press a cell phone image of the accuser, Saiful Bukhari standing next to advisers of the current Deputy Prime Minister who is slated to take over government when the current Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi steps down.

The timing of the sodomy charge strengthens the conspiracy argument. In March this year, Malaysia’s ruling party, Barisan Nasional (National Front) lost its unchallenged two-third majority to the opposition for the first time in 40 years. The National Front is a coalition of three parties, with UMNO in the majority. Some members of the National Front have defected to the Anwar-led People’s Justice Party and more defections are expected. Another development tied to the timing of the sodomy charge is that with the ban from public office lifted in April 2008, Mr. Anwar has announced his intention to run for parliament this September and eventually for Prime Minister.

The Accuser

According to Sivarasa Rasiah, a lawyer on Anwar’s legal team and vice president of the People’s Justice Party, Saiful Bukhari who brought the sodomy claim is a victim. “We know he is a pawn and is being used, maybe willingly used for various inducements. He’s being motivated, not so much coerced but being induced with money, basically, paid to make the accusation. And in this sort of social environment it’s good dirt to stick on Anwar,” says Mr. Rasiah who was also a key supporter of Mr. Anwar’s legal and political battles in 1998.

Mr. Saiful started as a volunteer with the People’s Justice Party a few weeks before the March election, and was hired as a personal assistant when the election was over. “He gained people’s confidence so when he transitioned from volunteer to full time, it wasn’t a big issue,” Mr. Rasiah explains. Some bloggers have stated that Mr. Saiful is an UMNO sympathizer and close to people connected to the Deputy Prime Minister; others have accused him of being a mole for the National Front. He is currently missing from his home and said, by his family, to be in hiding.

Why Sodomy?

When asked why Mr. Anwar was accused of sodomy and not some other crime, which would also damage his reputation and career, Mr. Rasiah points out, “Sodomy is a different kind of weapon against him because of his Islamic credentials. Mahathir’s followers said this is a great weapon against him. So it’s a repeat of 1998. Anwar’s political opponents see him gaining strength and making a strong comeback towards prime ministership. The Deputy Prime Minister is most concerned about this because he wants to replace Badawi, the Prime Minister. So it’s a bit of a desperate measure.” Mr. Anwar’s political background as a Malay nationalist and Islamist who was part of the movement to Islamize Malaysia, made him particularly vulnerable to sodomy charges which effectively discredited him among his supporters in 1998. As he did then and is doing now, he is suing his accuser for defamation.

“The reason he is suing Saiful for defamation is because in this country, an accusation of sodomy is defamation of character. In 1998, he sued Mahathir for defamation and also malicious falsehood because the accusation was politically motivated. But Mahathir’s lawyers said since he was convicted, there was no defamation. The case went to appeals but it was struck down. This time he is suing Saiful for making an allegation, a false statement. Because it is not true. Neither of them had sex,” Mr. Rasiah explains.

Differences Between 1998 and 2008

Under Prime Minister Mahathir, any threats or acts of dissent were quashed with liberal use of the Internal Security Act to arrest and detain without due process anyone perceived to be promoting insurrection against the state. But as Mr. Rasiah observes, “Now I feel things may change. The government has concerns that if Anwar [who is an ethnic Malay] is charged, it may provoke a backlash from the Malay grassroots, which may see him as a victim of persecution. This time the government will take a political approach. They’ll give him his day in court, but they won’t jail him, won’t deny his freedom. But they’ll taint him.” Mr. Rasiah’s comments are directed at UMNO leadership and top state officials such as the current Attorney General (AG) and the current Inspector General of Police (IGP). It is speculated that the latter two fear imprisonment if Mr. Anwar returns to power. As quoted in a New York Times article, Mr. Anwar is said to have “recently obtained evidence that implicates the AG and IGP of misconduct and fabricating evidence against him in 1998.”⁴

Another difference between 1998 and now is that Malaysians are less likely to believe the charge against Mr. Anwar. One recent poll carried out in Malaysia shows that people are more cynical now.

A third difference in the two settings is that both accusers in the previous case made the statements voluntarily. This time, as Mr. Rasiah acknowledges, “It’s difficult to say whether Saiful is being coerced.”

A fourth difference is that one of the accusers in 1998 said the sex was coerced. This time, it is not clear if the charge mentions coercion. According to Mr. Rasiah, “We don’t know what Saiful actually said. There’s no charge sheet or police report just media reports on what the police have said Saiful told them. Saiful actually went to Najib’s people first and they told him to go to the police. The police told the media it was an act of sodomy but Saiful himself did not speak to the media. He’s never brought up duress.” When asked to confirm a press report that Mr. Anwar has an alibi, Mr. Rasiah responded, “Yes he does but I can’t discuss the details. We’ve looked at Saiful’s allegation and it’s clearly a frame up. A complete fabrication.”

Risk Of Coming Forward

Since homosexuality and sodomy are against the law in Malaysia, it is not clear if Mr. Saiful is also at risk of being prosecuted. Mr. Rasiah says, “He must have been told nothing will happen to him if you say it was done under duress. And he’s been paid money. The previous people in the 1998 case who said they engaged in consensual sex [with Anwar] were charged and jailed because it is against the law, not Azizan, the driver because he said he was coerced.”

In Malaysia as in all countries that criminalize homosexuality and same-sex sexual relationships, being falsely accused of committing “acts against the law of nature” exposes victims to the same level of risk as victims seeking redress from the criminal legal system for rape or any other form of partner violence involving illegal sexual activity. Coming forward about the crime in that situation is difficult enough without also facing possibility of prosecution. On the other hand, if sodomy were not criminalized, a law like 377 could not be used or misused against people. In the case of Mr. Anwar, if there had been no 377, there may not have been any claims of sodomy, and if there were, he may have faced social stigma but not criminal and legal penalties. Given his firsthand experience with the strategic misuse of Section 377, and how it wreaked havoc on his political career and personal life, one wonders if Mr. Anwar has been sensitized to the dangers of such a law on everyone but particularly LGBT people.

“We need laws to protect against rape and coercion,” Mr Rasiah agrees but contends, “The gay rights debate is a separate issue and of course that’s politically a difficult area for our party to go near. Primarily in this country we need a democratic context, the right to leave your religion, the right to be gay, the right to have personal freedom. Otherwise these things can’t be discussed sensibly. What we get is extreme religious views and no one to argue with them. Once the country is democratized like Indonesia, the debates on laws like Section 377 can happen and people can say, why do we have laws like these, we need to remove them.”

He adds, “Culturally, gay behavior is accepted in Malaysia although not if it is flaunted publicly. I have gay friends in the UK who have been spit on. No one spits at a gay person here. There is no anti-gay movement in this country.” When made aware of reports about transgender people in at least one state being viciously beaten up, and police raids of private gay parties in another state as part of operation clean up by the vice squad, Mr. Rasiah responds, “I haven’t heard of these reports. But police harassment, yes and police related violence, yes. But this is about abuse of power. Raids happen to other people too not only gay people. It’s not a systemic abuse of just gay people.”


Conclusion

When LGBT rights come up, many people in Asia frequently respond that it is not part of Asian culture to flaunt sexuality or sexual interactions, thereby conflating the right to “flaunt” with the right to express sexual orientation and gender identity, the right to spectacle with the right to be seen and heard without fear. In reality, the standard for acceptable or unacceptable public display of sexuality applies unevenly even for heterosexuals, depending on their sex, age, class, ethnicity, religion and other factors. The difference for LGBT people is that the standard is not only about exercising public decorum or discretion but the basic right to exist without criminal sanctions, not to mention religious condemnation, medical patholization and/or community pressure to conform.

Recommendations

While one can argue whether or not there is an anti-gay movement in Malaysia, it is insufficient to merely settle for the fact that there is “no anti-gay movement” there. More importantly, there needs to be an environment of acceptance, where the right to be gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual is affirmed.

Mr. Anwar’s party is called People’s Justice Party. As a lesbian born and raised in Malaysia, it is my hope that gays, lesbians, transgender people and bisexuals will be imagined as part of this vision. Promoting reformation and democratization is about promoting diversity of citizenship, which needs to include promoting the right to sexual and gender variance. The goals and benefits of political, legal reformation and social democratization should apply to all people, not to some people first, then others later, if at all. Equally important is the need for LGBT people to engage with the political process towards democratization and make their presence felt to party leadership and for the leadership to recognize their value.

Much energy and political will, many strategies and hearts have gone into defending Mr. Anwar’s reputation and his right to political dissent without persecution. Removing a law like Section 377 will also require these commitments. It will be a step towards defending the integrity of LGBT people and their right to live with dignity, without being asked to hide (or hate) who they are.

Boyfriend saiful bukhari??

is he the ONE???

saiful bukhari azlan. Whether what he did by lodging the police report could amount to a heroic act or something foolish – time would tell. He could turn out to be someone who had sacrificed his dignity for the sake of the country and to behold the truth or live to regret his act. Whatever it is, he has subjected himself to public scrutiny and judgment and thus he must pay the price for it throughout his life. But just that this guy must be damn damn determined and daring if what he alleges is true, yelah sanggup ke noks open yourself to scrutiny and reveal yourself to the whole world. Dahlah bile jumpa press macam tak segan segan nak gambar, like saying “yes mak lah diva”. I mean wouldn’t you expect one who makes such allegation to shy away from media or maybe ratu ketinggalan zaman – for all you know the in thing or trend nowadays could perhaps be main belakang. Well. Oh yes, lupa nak cakap, after being alerted by my former boss, I just remembered that I had met him in manila during a seminar. Tak sangka pulak lah kan. At that moment, he did not make any impression on me cause dahlah kurus kering tapi keadikan keadikan amat jelas crystal clear gitu.

Moving on, mak nak cakap pasal tunang dia janna. Someone please explain to me why did she have to write about what is happening to her fiancee in her blog. I mean dahlah tulis pasal tuning dia lepas tu invite pulak people to comment. Entahlah nok. Nak kata ignorant well she is a broadcast journalist or newsreader takkan naïve gitu kot. I mean I don’t understand, why does one expose themself to public. What is the idea in inviting people to comment on a so called controversial issue. So what does she expect – tones and tones of public sympathy and the people crying out loud and wailing over the situation she is in. entahlah she knows better …

Talking about that, bukan apa mak pun nak relate my personal experience without going too much into details. Not too long ago, I was subjected to humiliation in a particular blog where “people” decided to so call reveal secrets about me. So started lah cerita pasal siapa diri mak yang sebenar gitu. Of course it was one horror moment. Mak was traumatized. Honestly. I mean imagine a blog dedicated to exposing your dark secrets and I had nothing to do with the blog. Sampai orang yang tak rapat dengan mak and tak kenal identity sebenar mak pun called up to ask me what was going on. Tanyalah kat princess and mak orang, how gile I became sampai mak terpaksa bawa diri ke Singapore cari ketenangan and kedamaian. Sampai ada waktu mak bangun jam 3 atau 4 pagi buka computer to read what is the latest comment posted about me. Of course, ada yang suggested that I post a comment replying to the allegations – but after serious thought I decided not to. I mean why bother, no matter what you say, the writer has set his mind on defaming me. So whatever I say, explain or clarify wont change his mind. Lagipun, whatever I say might end up in bringing about more remarks. Betul tak. So despite my traumatic moments, I decided to just remain silent. Of course it was not easy but thanks to a friend who had gone through similar experiment and guided me to be strong, I managed to survive.

heheheh.. this not his boy, this is dino morea, india model... anybody know his boy during U day?

Saiful Bukhari ada STD... check ler tanda2 nih..

Listed below are some of those common symptoms that indicate the presence of a STD.

1. Abnormal vaginal discharge associated with foul smell and severe itching around the vaginal area.
2. Irregular bleeding from the vaginal region other than the one that occurs at the time of menstruation. An unusual discharge from the penis also indicates the presence of a genital infection.
3. Intense pain during urination and also during vaginal or anal intercourse.
4. Sore throats in people inclined for oral sex and anal pain in people who have or had anal sex.
5. Appearance of a scaly rash on the palms and on the soles.
6. Dark-colored urine associated with dull-colored stools.
7. Painless red sores in and around the genital area, anus, and oral cavity. One can suspect the presence of an STD on the appearance of blisters and soft, flesh-colored warts around the genital area.
8. Symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, frequent fatigue and unusual infections are characteristic of HIV/AIDS.

Appearance of any of the above symptoms in association with fever and body aches indicates the presence of a STD. Hence, it is important to consult a physician immediately in order to initiate a detailed evaluation and further treatment.

Surat Letak jawatan saiful bukhari??

Saiful father wants anwar DNA....

First, the police said it. Give us a new DNA sample because we don't want to use the old one. That one old story. This one new story ma.

Then, the Home Minister also asked for new DNA sample. If he (Anwar Ibrahim) is innocent then he got nothing to be afraid of what.

Now, the Prime Minister gets into the act. " If indeed he is not involved, give the sample now. He said he did not do anything. So he must give fresh sample to prove it. I want to see the results."

Okay, I am no forensic expert. I don't even know anything about DNA and stuff like that. But I do understand that DNA is unique to each person, right? It's like no two persons on this earth are the same. So when I give you my DNA sample and you analyse it and get a print out it will be the same no matter how many times you get fresh samples and test my DNA. Right? The DNA will be the same even after millions of years. Right?

If so, why is there is need to ask for fresh samples? Was the old one tampered with? It just doesn't make sense spending all this time, effort and tax-payers money to chase after something which you already have. Right?

We seem to be going around in circles chasing our own tails la. What gives man???!!!

Can somebody who knows about DNA and forensics shed some light on this?

this juz become a circus....

Saiful Bukhari... the victim or culprit??

GAY BOY MELAYU....

Saiful the Backdoor Boy: JANGAN MAIN BELAKANG

No, I am not talking about the ‘I sodomize you, you sodomize me’ allegations being hurled around Malaysia’s political court. Those are merely allegations in which the truth remains unknown. We shall let Malaysiakini and Malaysia Today dwell upon that subject. See ‘Anwar vs Najib: Liwat meliwat’ http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/85562

What I would like to talk about is why a 23 year old boy (he looks very boyish indeed) was allowed to meet and seek a scholarship from the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia in the first place? This fact was confirmed by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak himself when he recanted his initial denial, and said that he had met Saiful Bukhari Azlan at his office before.

But hang on there a minute!

Why should a student be knocking on a politician’s BACKDOOR to apply for a scholarship? I am sure there are other proper channels to go through for this sort of application. Shouldn’t this kind of action be considered ‘skipping the queue’ or ‘pulling strings’?

Does this mean that the Malaysian government awards scholarships only to students who are connected to politicians?

By the way, Saiful has gone through the wrong BACKDOOR if he really wanted to apply for a scholarship. Shouldn’t he be banging hard on Hishammuddin’s BACKDOOR instead, since he is the Education Minister? Or maybe our clean Hishammuddin isn’t into all these BACKDOOR businesses?

We live in interesting times.

there a lot of suspicious aspects in this case.. it is hard not to believe that i was juz another ploy to defame anwar... what the buck??

DNA ANWAR???

Episod memalukan dlm sejarah malaysia!!!

Persoalan mula timbul bila pihak polis dan ahli parlimen Rembau mahukan DNA Anwar sedangkan sampel DNA Anwar sudah sedia ada dalam simpanan pihak berkuasa sejak 1998.

Semalam, DSAI tidak membenarkan Hospital Kuala Lumpur dan PDRM mengambil sampel DNAnya.

Anwar juga menolak pemeriksaan kesihatan menyeluruh dijalankan ke atas dirinya.

Anwar dibebaskan dengan jaminan polis pada pukul 9.45 pagi tadi. Beliau keluar dari IPK Kuala Lumpur melalui pintu belakang dan terus pulang ke rumahnya di Segambut.

Peguam Anwar turut mengesahkan yang Anwar tidak memberikan sampel DNAnya kepada pihak polis selepas dinasihati untuk berbuat demikian kerana peguamnya itu bimbang DNA Anwar akan dimanupulasikan oleh pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

Dalam sidang media Anwar sebentar tadi, Anwar berkata beliau telah ditelanjangkan sewaktu menjalani pemeriksaan di Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) malam tadi.

Menurutnya, seluruh badan beliau diperiksa, termasuk bahagian sulitnya.

Secara berseloroh, beliau berkata, mereka juga "ukur mana yang perlu" dan beliau "ikut semuanya (arah doktor)".

Katanya, beliau juga enggan membenarkan gambarnya diambil "kerana ia mungkin disiarkan dalam YouTube".

Menurut mantan timbalan perdana menteri itu lagi, beliau juga enggan darahnya diambil sewaktu menjalani pemeriksaan kesihatan tersebut.

Sebelum dibawa ke HKL, katanya, pegawai-pegawai polis berpangkat ACP dan SAC II memberi jaminan beliau boleh dibebaskan malam tadi juga, dengan ikat jamin polis, selepas menjalani pemeriksaan tersebut.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, beliau tidak bebaskan malam tadi dan terpaksa tidur di atas simen dalam lokap di tingkat tujuh bangunan IPK itu.

Hanya pada kira-kira 1 tengah malam, isterinya Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail datang membawa tuala sebagai alas tidur.

Beliau juga mempersoalkan mengapa pihak polis enggan memberi salinan laporan Mohd Saiful terhadapnya.

Katanya, beliau bertanya perkara itu dan polis hanya menjawab "diarahkan tidak boleh bagi laporan (kepada Anwar)".

"Siapa yang arah? Timbalan perdana menteri atau isterinya (media ketawa), atau ketua polis negara?" katanya.

Sehubungan itu, Anwar menyuarakan kebimbangannya mengenai kemungkinan laporan tersebut dipinda selepas polis mengambil kenyataannya malam tadi.

"Saya rasa tak selesa, saya tidak ditunjukkan report (pengadu) itu, mungkin pindaan dibuat, dipinda, dipinda, dipinda, mungkin selepas statement saya dibuat, mungkin laporan itu akan dipinda," katanya.

Katanya, ini kerana siapakah yang boleh membuktikan nanti bahawa laporan itu adalah yang asli.

Persoalannya kini, ada apa dengan DNA Anwar?

Anwar di hospital check DNA

Anwar masih boleh senyum

Gambar di ambil ketika beliau dibawa keluar@usung oleh 11 kenderaan polis pada jam 8.35 malam, menuju ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur untuk DNA Checking ....... Masih boleh tersenyum. AKu teringin nak tengok mereka mereka yang bersubahat di dalam hal ini, di kenakan tindakan satu hari nanti. Si bibir pink, si musang hutan dan si guni 4 kilo 12 gram.

Adakah masih boleh tersenyum di depan kamera atau terkencing kencing di dalam seluar ... Hidup Anwar !!!

GAMBAR KOMANDO BERTOPENG TANGKAP ANWAR!!

Pada awalnya, menjawab soalan wartawan mengapa polis komando bertopeng yang diarah menangkap Anwar, Musa berkata:

“Mana ada.. polis takkan tangkap orang pakai topeng.”

Tetapi apabila diberitahu bahawa seorang jurugambar sempat merakamkan peristiwa penahanan Anwar oleh sepasukan komando bertopeng itu, Musa menjelaskan:

“Saya baru sampai (dari Brunei), saya tak tahu menahu, saya tak ada komen,” katanya. - Utusanmeloya

Ini buktinya

GANAS SUNGGUH ANWAR SEHINGGA PASUKAN KHAS DIGUNAKAN UTK MENAGKAP BELIAU!! CELAKA PUNYA MUSA HASSAN!!

ANWAR ATAU SAIFUL YANG TERSEPIT SEKARANG?

Memetik laporan Malaysiakini hari ini “Anwar bawa isu liwat ke JAWI” dan laporan KPMU.net “Kenapa Anwar takut sahut cabaran Saiful” membuatkan saya kian yakin dan percaya yang isu ini dapat diselesaikan secara baik.

KPMU.net melalui pendeta menulis :

“Anwar kini telah failkan aduan di Jabatan Agama Islam bersama isterinya. Beliau sekali lagi mengulangi bahawa beliau tidak perlu bermuhabalah atas nasihat alim ulama di dalam dan di luar negeri. Tidak berdosa jika Anwar bermuhabalah untuk mencuci nama baik beliau. Beliau mencabar tertuduh bermuhabalah tetapi beliau sendiri enggan melakukannya.”

Manakala laporan Malaysiakini melalui Abdul Rahim Sabri menulis :

"Dalam Islam, lelaki yang dituduh (melakukan liwat) adalah tidak bersalah. Siapa yang menuduhnya harus membawa saksi, bukannya seseorang (yang dituduh) untuk bersumpah sebab sumpah adalah sebahagian daripada pembuktian. (Bersumpah) ini bukan untuk beliau (Anwar) membuktikan bahawa beliau tidak bersalah. (Tetapi) ini adalah untuk penuduh untuk membuktikan beliau bersalah," jelasnya.

Dan ini pula adalah pendapat beberapa tokoh agama negara tentang isu ini yang dipetik dari laman Mstar :

Pengerusi Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan, Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin berkata “Lafaz sumpah wajar dijadikan jalan terakhir selepas mereka yang saling tuduh-menuduh tidak dapat membuktikan kebenaran dakwaan itu melalui proses lain dalam mencari keadilan.”

Mufti Johor, Datuk Noh Gadut berkata “Isu fitnah seperti dakwaan kes liwat yang sedang hangat diperkatakan ini wajar ditangani di mahkamah (syariah) kerana ia akan membabitkan lebih ramai pihak berwibawa dalam menentukan keputusan sama ada seseorang itu bersalah atau tidak,"

Mufti Perlis, Dr Asri Zainul Abidin berkata “Bersumpah dengan menjunjung Al- Quran bukanlah kaedah Islam. Bukan itu yang dianjurkan oleh Islam. Nabi pun tidak pernah buat begitu. Bersumpah dengan menjunjung Quran adalah tradisi orang Melayu.”

Menteri Besar Kelantan, Nik Aziz Nik Mat berkata “Bersumpah atau bermubahalah merupakan langkah paling akhir yang perlu dibuat selepas proses perundangan dijalankan. Biarlah pihak mahkamah siasat dulu. Bersumpah adalah langkah yang terakhir,"

Mufti Perak, Datuk Seri Dr. Harussani Zakaria berkata “Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak perlu bersumpah kerana ia tidak menepati undang-undang Islam. Yang menuduh (Saiful) kena mengemukakan empat orang saksi di mahkamah. Kalau tidak boleh dikenakan sebatan 80 kali.”

Penasihat Agama Kepada Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Othman berkata “Perbuatan bermubahalah (sumpah laknat) adalah bercanggah dengan ajaran Islam terutama jika ia membabitkan unsur-unsur politik.”

Bersandarkan kepada pandangan yang dikeluarkan oleh tokoh-tokoh agama tersebut, maka sewajarnya semua pihak (termasuk pendeta KPMU.net) membiarkan isu ini diselesaikan di Mahkamah Syariah. Apa-apa keputusan yang dibuat oleh mahkamah syariah nanti tentunya akan mencatatkan satu precedent yang tidak pernah berlaku dalam sejarah perundangan Islam di negara ini sebelum kejadian ini.

Kes ini akan disiasat di bawah Seksyen 41 Akta Kesalahan Jenayah Syariah (Wilayah Persekutuan) 1997 dan jika sabit kesalahan boleh dihukum tiga tahun penjara atau denda RM5,000.

Manakala Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menyambut baik tindakan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mengemukakan aduan fitnah kes liwat terhadap beliau di Mahkamah Syariah.

Beliau berkata “Saya tak akan campur tangan walaupun mahkamah ini (Mahkamah Syariah) berada di dalam bidang kuasa saya, biarkan hakim-hakim yang berwibawa membuat ketentuan mengikut enakmen perundangan.

Beliau juga yakin hasil siasatan polis yang telah dijalankan boleh digunakan sebagai bukti dalam membantu siasatan yang dijalankan pendakwaraya Mahkamah Syariah. Bila ditanya sama ada pihak polis akan menghentikan siasatan terhadap kes ini, beliau bagaimanapun tidak pasti mengenai perkara tersebut.

Anwar dipukul lagi???

adakah satu lagi episod keganasan polis yg akan berlaku terhadap DSAI... adakah kali ini tamat riwayat seorang pemimpin ulung malaysia.. wahai rakyat malaysia, mungkin anwar adalah korban yang terpaksa berlaku utk menyelamatkan malaysia drpd kehancuran.. marilah kita sama2 terus berjuang walau apa pun berlaku terhadap anwar kerna LAWAN TETAP LAWAN!!!

SAIFUL BUKHARI CABAR ANWAR!!

Tunang Saiful Bukhari Azlan, Janna Mohd Zaki menganggapnya sebagai hero walau apapun cemuhan yang dilemparkan terhadap Saiful. Janna meluahkan isi hatinya ini di dalam nota terbaru di blognya sempena hari lahir Saiful yang ke 23 semalam, 6 Julai.

Saiful Bukhari merupakan bekas pembantu peribadi Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang mendakwa dirinya telah diliwat oleh bekas majikannya itu.

Dalam posting terbarunya dalam blog, 'A Step in My Pink Mary Janes', Janna berkata walaupun dia tidak dapat menunaikan segala hasrat menyambut hari lahir Saiful seperti yang dirancang setelah berhempas pulas membuat segala persiapan, dia tidak terkilan.

"Di mata saya, Saiful adalah hero. Pada mereka yang menghujani kami dengan sumpahan dan kata-kata hinaan, saya ucapkan Alhamdulillah. Saya menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk mendekatkan diri pada Allah"

"Kami tidak ada kuasa untuk membuat orang berhenti bercakap perkara yang memedihkan tentang kami. Saya percaya pada Saiful dan saya tahu, kebenaran itu akan datang jua satu hari nanti," jelas Janna dalam blognya yang bertarikh semalam.

Di bawah posting terbaru yang bertajuk "Happy Birthday" itu juga, Janna turut membuat pautan dengan laman profile milik tunangnya itu menerusi laman web popular Friendster di url http://profiles.friendster.com/saifulbukhari.

Di halaman pautan tersebut, tertera ayat yang menggambarkan seolah-olah Saiful mencabar Anwar iaitu: "Wahai Anwar munafik! Aku cabar kau bermubahalah! Tetapkan tempat dan waktu! Aku akan datang! Yang hak pasti berdiri.Yang bathil pasti jatuh!Aku tak takut mati. ALLAHHUAKBAR!"

Macam mana SAIFUL BUKHARI boleh bekerja dengan Anwar ?

Walaupun tidak dijelaskan apakah jenis pekerjaan, tetapi mangsa mengatakan dia bekerja dengan majikannya Ketua Umum PKR. Walaupun tidak dinyatakan lokasi pekerjaannya namun boleh diandaikan, dia bekerja di pejabat Anwar (seksyen 16), atau pejabat PKR (bangunan baru) atau di luar lokasi pejabat, sebagai pekerja bebas tetapi masih menghantar laporan harian kepada majikannya.

Persoalan-persoalan itupun sudah misteri kerana pelbagai andaian boleh dibuat sekiranya hanya menggunakan terma 'pekerja' dan 'majikan'.

Persoalan yang lebih misteri, bagaimanakah mangsa boleh bekerja dengan Anwar dan bagaimanakah cara dia diambil, sedangkan Anwar terkenal sebagai seorang tokoh yang amat cermat memilih pegawai-pegawainya yang sebelum ini masing-masing berlumba-lumba mengambil hati Anwar untuk digelar 'pewaris dairi merah'.

Maksud 'pewaris diari merah' adalah orang yang paling rapat dengan Anwar. Semasa Anwar jadi TPM, 'pewaris dairi merah' adalah Azmin Ali. Semasa Anwar, Ketua Umum PKR, diwarisi pula oleh Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Maksudnya 'pewaris dairi merah' adalah Setiausaha Sulit Anwar yang bertanggungjawab mencatat segala jadual dan aktiviti Anwar.

Tiga orang pegawai setia Anwar. Dari kiri Nurul Izzah,Sim Tze Tzin dan Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (pewaris terakhir 'dairi merah'). Nik Nazmi, bekas aktivis pelajar UKEC, UK dikatakan paling berpengaruh dan penyusun strategi anak muda. Sebab itu beliau dilantik SETPOL MB Selangor, walaupun telah memmpunyai sumber pendapatan sebagai ADUN PKR.Bermakna beliau mempunyai dua sumber pendapatan. Kehebatan Nik Nazmi dihikayatkan bahawa beliau sanggup bayar secara tunai kepada penajanya PNB yang pernah taja pengajiannya di UK, semata-mata untuk berkhidmat dengan Anwar. Banyak betul duitnya.

Anwar sudah ada pegawai-pegawai setianya termasuk Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (pewaris terakhir 'dairi merah'), Nurul Izzah (anaknya), Sim Tze Tzin, Ginnie Lim, Lee Khai Long, Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainuddin (Jonah) dan ramai lagi anak-anak muda yang telah terbukti kesetiaan dan mampu diambil sebagai pekerja paling dipercayai Anwar.

Kalau Nik Nazmi sibuk sebagai SETPOL MB Selangor dan ADUN, kenapa tidak diambil Jonah atau Ginnie Lim calon PKR yang kalah dalam PRU baru-baru ini ? Kenapa pula Anwar sangat berminat mengambil 'mangsa' yang masih mentah dan sebelum ini lebih terkenal sebagai penyokong kerajaan?

Sudah tentu pengakuan mangsa sebagai pekerja Anwar akan menimbulkan polemik, kerana masih ramai lagi pekerja-pekerja muda yang lebih berjasa berlumba-lumba untuk menawan hati Anwar dan menempatkan diri sebagai 'pewaris dairi merah'. Malah sudah timbul perbalahan di kalangan sesama sendiri yang mendakwa mereka lebih setia dan lebih bekorban untuk parti.

Bukan rahsia lagi, Jonah terasa jauh hati apabila dipinggirkan selepas tewas melawan Najib di pekan.

Apatah lagi apabila muncul 'watak' baru yang dikenali sebagai Saiful Bukhari Azlan, yang baru sahaja bekorban dan menyumbang kepada parti. Ketika Jonah berdemontrasi lawan polis, Saiful Bukhari masih turun naik ke pejabat tokoh-tokoh negara untuk bergambar. Jadi wajarkah Saiful digelar sebagai 'pekerja setia' kepada Anwar ?

Malah sebelum ini, sudah kecoh laporan mengenai latar belakang 'kepartian' Saiful dibuat oleh pekerja-pekerja muda PKR yang setia kepada Anwar. Tetapi, Anwar masih mengambil 'mangsa' itu sebagai pekerjanya. Kenapa ?

GAY CLUB

"Who would have imagined that there were so many gay and lesbian Malaysians given the fact that Malaysia is a small, conservative and restrictive Muslim country. Ever since I met other Malaysians, we agreed that initially there weren't many other Malaysians other than ourselves who were openly gay or lesbian around. As our group grows, things are beginning to look very different.

It is our proud moment to be able to have our own small but significant voice heard. We will do the gays and lesbians of the world justice by providing a support network for each other as gays and lesbians. Thank you and it is great to be a part of a growing community

What it means to be a gay Malaysian

Dear Fellow Malaysians

I am sadden by the news that Anwar aide’s, En Saiful Bahari has lodge a police report claiming that he was sodomized by Anwar. There was no details mention in the news about the alleged sodomy police report. It is indeed sad, if this allegation is found to be true. It is more sad if it is found to be untrue and is politically motivated

Why now !

While SMS is being spread and Anwar supporters has now begins to gather around him, it raises some questions on the issue of the latest police report. As if we are still not over the reeling of shock surrounding RPK SD over Najib’s wife involvement in the Althantuya case, the nation is now being fed with another story.

On the surface, it appears that, the allegation was made while Rosmah (Najib) issue is being talked about. With this new story, I believe the alleged Rosmah involvement in the Althantuya murder will be drown in the heaps of media “explosion” over the Anwar case.

I worries for the Nation..

While I am not surprised by the latest police report, I am worried about the impact of this latest police report. Allow me to explain why.

Pak Lah is not Mahathir..

While Mahathir is respected as being one of the intelligent leaders the world ever produces, he is a political maverick. He was able to handle Anwar case calmly and was able to bring the nation back on its track despite the financial crisis.

The same cannot be said about Pak Lah. Our present PM is indeed a nice man but being a nice man is not enough to lead a nation. I am worried that Anwar supporters will start a riot. Compared to before, today five states government are behind Anwar and this can only creates more problems. I am worried that the Government of the day may not be able to handle a nationwide riot. I am one very worried man. I am worried about the country, my family and my neighbors.

If in the Mahathir- Anwar crisis, the people was angry but they were not actually burden but today the people is angry. They are burden by the high cost of living. I believe many people out there believe Anwar story that he could actually brings down the cost of fuel and i.e. the cost of living. I am afraid that the people that is worst affected by the fuel price hike may just use this latest situation to release their steam. Today, the ball game is different. The playing field is not the same in 1998. Today people are upset and I think it is unwise for anyone to pour petrol on something that is hot.

Anwar and its people backlash…

Anwar and his people are not about to sit down and do nothing with this new allegation. Based on what was reported in M/Kini and M/Today, there are already people gathering in Shah Alam. I urged all people to remain calm. I urge all state government to remain neutral. The new allegation is a personal matter between two individuals.

Whom am I referring to? While some would postulate that is a matter between Saiful and Anwar but if you stretch your imagination a little bit more then you will realized that it is probably a political game between the nation power brokers.This is not a simple issue of sodomy.

Power brokers fighting?

There is a malay proverb that says “ Bila Gajah bergaduh, Pelanduk mati ditengah tengah”. Use your imagination and guess what I mean. Guess who is the “Gajah” . Guess who is the “pelanduk”. In my assessment, Pak Lah is not the “Gajah” (he is more like a tapir!) and the people is the “Pelanduk”. We need to ask who would benefit from the latest round of police report. By the way, isn’t Gajah is the official mascot of one state in Malaysia.

I urge all Malaysian to remain calm. I want to give the same advice that I gave to my troops while I was serving the Army during the height of Anwar – Mahathir crisis. My men listen to me that time and I hope all readers would spare some thoughts on what I am about to say.

“The Sermon”

Politics is never about the people in the streets. Politics is about power and position. No matters whoever goes up, the “real” interest is not the people but it is about power and position. No matter who wins in this power struggle, the people will not gain anything. Rioting will not bring any good to the people. It will make things worst.

My advice to everyone is to stay at home and watch a movie or spend time with their family. That is better. Even is Anwar goes up, he cannot do any miracle of the nation coffer is empty. He can only deliver his promises if he can find ways to increase the nation’s income. I believe any riots will reduce the nation income further. At the current moment, I have my doubt that Anwar can actually raise the nation income and deliver his promises to reduce the people cost of living.

Making promises is one thing and delivering what is being promised is another matter. Do not expect miracles at the time when the whole world is feeling the pinch of fuel speculators. I say it again, stay out of this fight between all power brokers. Do not give an excuse for the Federal Government to impose martial law and take over the governance of the five states. Think again, think hard and think rationally.

LUAHAN HATI "MANGSA" LIWAT

Saiful Bukhari said...

Satu lagi,

Untuk pengetahuan semua pelajar-pelajar UNITEN yang saya rindui dan kasihi, semalam saya baru sahaja memohon kepada pihak Uniten untuk membenarkan saya menamatkan pengajian a.k.a berhenti.

Saya membuat keputusan setelah saya berfikir panjang("setahun")dan mendengar nasihat dari pelbagai pihak.

Untuk pengetahuan semua, keputusan peperiksaan saya amat teruk semasa saya berada didalam MPP. Sem 1 06/07 GPA 1.0, Sem 2 GPA 0.8 dan CGPA saya sekarang 1.69.

Secara logiknya, untuk saya menaikkan CGPA saya dan menamatkan pengajian ia akan memakan masa selama 5 semester = 2 1/2 tahun lagi. Jadi bagi saya, ia tidak berbaloi.

Semenjak dari kecil cita-cita saya bukan seperti yang saudara-saudari sangkakan iaitu menjadi seorang ahli Politik. Tetapi cita-cita saya adalah untuk menjadi seorang PILOT(Juruterbang). Saya mengambil bidang ini pon kerana pada ketika itu Allahyarhamah ibu saya sakit tenat, beliau sudah menyimpan wang untuk saya mencapai cita-cita saya tetapi pada ketika itu wang itu terpaksa digunakan untuk menanggung kos perubatan.

Pada ketika itu, yang ada didepan mata hanyalah tawaran pinjaman Yayasan Tenaga Nasional dalam bidang kejuruteraan. Jadi saya tidak mempunyai pilihan dan terpaksalah menerima tawaran itu.

Tetapi jauh disudut hati, memang saya telah tekad, Selepas sahaja saya menamatkan ijazah, saya akan cuba sedaya upaya juga untuk menjadi seorang juruterbang.

Allamdulillah, mungkin berkat doa ibu saya yang kini berada dialam barzakh dikabulkan. Saya telah mendapat tawaran untuk mengikuti kursus dalam bidang penerbangan di Asia Pacific Flight Training di Kota Bharu. Saya akan masuk pada JUN 2008 dan dijangka tamat pada DEC 2009. =)

Kalau nak cerita lagi panjang tapi cukup setakat sini sahajalah. Lagipun ni bukan blog saya, saya menumpang je.. =P

Jadi, adakah impian atau agenda saya selama ini benar seperti yang saudara Najwan war war kan? Anda sahaja lah yg tafsir dan fikirkan.

Sekali lagi, saya tidak menyalahkan saudara Najwan kerana beliau tidak tahu dan tidak rapat dengan saya. Sesiapa pun akan menganggap saya ni mempunyai cita-cita politik.

Bagi saya tak salah berbaik dengan sesiapa pon. Saya adalah jenis orang yang tidak suka bermusuh. Lagi ramai kenalan, tak kiralah Menteri, Pemimpin Pembangkang, gangster atau tukang sapu sampah sekali pon, suatu hari tanpa disangka orang-orang ini lah yang dapat membantu kita.

Kesimpulannya, rapatkan silaturrahim sesama manusia dan elakkan bermusuhan sesama manusia.

Sekian,

Saiful Bukhari.

p/s: Maafkan saya pelajar-pelajar Uniten yang saya kasihi dan rindui.

23 years old VS 60 years old man with bad back..

things that we can ponder...

1. Was he really sexually assaulted by Anwar Ibrahim? If he was not, who pressured him to make the report?

2. If he was sexually assaulted by Anwar Ibrahim, then why did he allow Anwar to get away with it more than once (based on his police report)?

3. If the sex was not consensual, how did an old man force himself onto a strapping young man 23 years of age (as noted by the analysts in Malaysiakini)? Were there accomplices? Was he drugged?

4. How will he address all the concerns about his pictures with government ministers floating around the net? Was he a spy? Or just want to ‘tumpang glamour’?

5. How will he address the allegation that he was physically campaigning for Anwar Ibrahim, but was actually campaigning online (via his Friendster) for Barisan Nasional during the last General Elections?

There are tons more questions people will want to ask, if you’ve got any leave them in the comments to share.

However, one thing is for sure. If in the case that he was really innocent and was sodomized by Anwar, it would be better for him to make a public appearance and explain (and let the entire country judge him), rather than be automatically assumed as guilty of collaborating with the BN government to smear Anwar’s name.

The Price for A Life...

who is he? why on earth did he allowed himself to be exploited? nothing surprise me anymore because i have seen a lot of things in my lifetime. MALAYSIA!! my country... is there any hope for us???
